This post will be stickied. Other threads will be merged with this one.

Trying to get ahead of all the questions after GAJ subbed out with a knee injury.

Eade said it could be season over at QT.

More to come.

Very true - 4 weeks min so might as well rest him ready for pre season!!

I think I should add a poll to this for options to trade GAJ too. Anyone want to help by listing the best set of however many mids? I cbf working it out...

Not sure what the best options statwise are, but for me value wise:

Top tier:
Lewis
Sidebottom

Lower tier:
Barlow
Jelwood

Probably pendles for me since dont have him.

Dave085 · July 26, 2015, 01:50:35 PM

Im looking at either Gaff / Macrae.
Not sure how long I can overlook Pendles... lol. Why do I do that so much?!
Sidebottom good value too. Might bring him in to help squeeze Goldy in over the next few.

Alright. Hopefully that covers everyone. You can vote for up to 4 people (so that more options get covered) and you can change your vote (in case we add someone new to the poll). Open for any suggestions of people to add to the poll.

Tough poll... I voted for who I rate even if they were already in my team, not who I want to get.
Initially didn't vote for Hodge because he is DPP, but even still, he is on fire. Can be switched to def later.

Yeah, if my backs were finished but I didn't have Hodge, I'd still trade him as a mid.

Sidebottom for me.

Koby Stevens...? Isn't he broken (and also really bad at Fantasy)?

broken, yes.... bad at fantasy, no. He's been decent this year. Just under a 90ave for most the year
